Bonjour Wax Co. Galentine's Day Sampler

Monday, June 04, 2018

Hi guys! I hope you had a great weekend. I finally melted each scent in my Bonjour Wax Co Galentine's Day sampler so I thought I would post a review. This sampler was sent to me by one of my best gals, and biggest wax enablers (<3 Kendahl). I'm wholeheartedly obsessed with Parks and Rec and was over the moon that Bonjour decided to do a sampler for Galentine's Day.

How freaking cute is this?! This is the entire sampler minus the perfume roller ball in "Galentine's Mimosas" scent. I immediately put that on and forgot to put it back in the box for a photo.

I'm going to be totally honest here - I was a bit nervous about some of the scents because florals still scare me. That said, once I melted them I quickly changed my mind. Bonjour does a great job making florals I enjoy. I will give anything in her shop a chance as long as it doesn't have patchouli.

Poetic, Noble Land Mermaid

Scent: Aquatic florals, sea moss, sea air on a base of woods

Cold sniff: Salty, light floral with wood notes

Throw: 3 out of 5. Could smell in half of the house

Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1/4 shot

Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: I'm not huge on floral scents but this is just the right blend of salty sea air and floral. I wouldn't have purchased it based on the description (hello chicken!) but it's wonderful! I love this scent and could see purchasing a clam or bakery bag.

Notes: The cinnamon is fairly light when warmed. This scent reminds me of hot pancakes with a side of bacon.

Waffles, Friends, and Work

Scent: Creamy vanilla waffle batter, maple syrup, and whipped cream

Cold sniff: Sweet, buttery waffles

Throw: 4 out of 5. Could smell everywhere but one room

Warmer used: AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used: 1 waffle

Would I repurchase: Yes

Notes: This scent is significantly different than Kick It, Breakfast Style. While they both have buttery pancake/waffle notes, I find that Waffles, Friends, and Work is more of a straight waffle scent while Kick It, Breakfast Style incorporates more breakfast scents. Both are equally nice.

Galentine's Mimosas

Throw: 2 out of 5. Could only smell it in one room and maybe the hallway

Warmer used:AmbiEscents White Pumpkin - 25 watt lightbulb

Amount used:1/4 shot

Would I repurchase: Maybe

Notes: This scent also came in perfume form. While I like the scent in both perfume and wax form, the wax isn't nearly as strong as I would have hoped.

This sampler was fantastic! I really look forward to all of the future scents Bonjour has in store. Just a note - this sampler features her old wax blend. Bonjour now uses a house made parasoy blend. You can find Bonjour Wax Co at the links below.
